Flowers Flowers everywhere

my new pen & pencil holder is supposed to look like two flowers, one on top of the other... I'm not sure I actually accomplished the look, but I like itThe top view:This challenge is to make flowers out of floral paper, that's right you can cut some flowers out on your die cut machine, stack em up & drive a brad thru the middle... or get kind of crazy creative like I did!

How did I make this silly thing... you see I design developments for a civil engineer & our rolls of paper come in 36" rolls, these are called cores. I simply used my husband's chop saw and cut them to the length I wanted, dressed them up, added a little ink to the edges, then glued the whole mess together in the shape I wanted... actually Ron suggested it & I actually liked his suggestion.

Yep, there are rules everywhere you look and since this is my challenge, I'm throwing em down for ya right here where they are visible for all to see all the time... no confusion (I hope, HA). So here goes:1. Challenges are to be followed as closely as you possibly can without copying any other person's design.2. You may enter each Challenge up to 3 times with 3 different creations. But all creations must be NEW for this challenge (nothing you've made previously can be used)3. My Challenges may be combined with a max of 2 other challenges for a total of 3-in-1. Using more than 3 will result in disqualification for prize.

4. Prizes will be awarded by me or a sponsor (if/when I get get any) for US & Canadian residence only at this time, sorry overseas friends.5. Some prizes will be selected randomly, some will be because they strike my fancy.... but I will let you know how I decided.6. No negativity, there is too much of that in the "real world" and I just don't like it. Only say nice things and you'll only receive nice things! Wait, that's a life rule... maybe I've strayed here.7.
